Language strings

MES includes the following default languages:

• English

• Chinese Simplified

• French

• German

• Japanese

• Russian

• Spanish

You can use the Languages module to define language strings for additional languages. This includes copying one of the default languages to customize the text string for plant-specific information or dialect variations for the shop floor operators. You can create an unlimited number of additional languages and the individual strings to customize the strings used in the MES applications.

Note: The first 100,000 string IDs are reserved for MES internal use.

When you open the Languages workspace tab, a list of the existing languages is shown.

The Languages module is grouped under the Master Data Config group in the Navigation Bar. For information on groups and modules, see Groups and modules.

The Languages module allows you to define and customize individual text strings in the language table. The language table contains all the words and phrases that are utilized in the four core programs of the system. Every user is assigned one language or dialect in the User Groups and Users module. For more information on user groups and users, see User groups and users.
